Sakhi Sammelan is the first ever convention of Hindu Women in RTP organised by Women (Sevikas) at HSS. The event was very lively, started with the intro of each other and Ice breaker. Followed by Yoga and info session of the Seva Projects. There was a discussion in which all women had the opportunity to talk about the Hindu culture and the reasons behind following the tradition. This discussion helped the women to explore the reasons behind rituals.
Our own medical expert Dr. Vijaya Bapat was the guest speaker. Dr. Bapat presented very helpful tips on managing stress. Anjali Patel was another guest speaker who flew from CA for this Special event and was present for the event for the whole day.
There were many games and fun filled activities. All women were given a topic about the Hindu festivals and culture and asked to provide a Skit.
The Volunteers of HSS, Pranjali Dani, Archana Joshi, Komal Kubal, Hina Patel, Gauri Deshmukh, Sushma joshi,Shivani Desai and Sunita Upadhyay had worked hard to put together this event. Thumbs up to them for organizing and running a very succesful event.
